[cataphract]

Is this only a kids thing? I'm a terrible swimmer and very dense (on fresh water my head will be completely underwater even with the lungs full), and had to be rescued once on the verge of hypothermia on an ebb tide and I was able to call for help.

It seems like you weren’t quite in the act of drowning, which is indeed an excellent time to call for help.
